Check settings. Go to menu / sel button, press once. Scroll down to answering setup. Select. Scroll to record time. Options are announce only, 1 min. Or 4 min. Make selection. You will know your machine is ready to answer and record messages by the change in the LCD display on phone base from "A" (announce only) to a number, designating the number of messages previously saved.

Most of the time your home phone service has a digital voice mail like your cell phone does. If the answering machine is set for an amount of rings that is too long the digital voice mail service will answer before your machine. The new cordless phone indicators do show messages on your digital voice mail as well as the answering machine. Depending on your home service, most of the time when you press talk and you hear a different non standard dial tone(mine pulses 3 times before going to solid dial tone) you have a digital message. You need to delete this message before the indicator light will stop flashing. Then set up you digital voice mail for a longer pickup time! This should get rid of this problem.
